Cala Goloritzé
A small bay guarded by white limestone spires and arches, with water shading from light to deep blue. It is rated one of Europe's most beautiful beaches and can only be reached on foot.
Cala Goloritzé is an Italian natural monument. Its emblems are the 143 m limestone pinnacle Aguglia on the north side of the bay and a natural limestone arch. To protect the environment, boats cannot dock. Visitors must hike 1-1.5 hours from the Su Porteddu car park on the Golgo plateau down to the beach, and the walk back uphill is harder. In peak season daily numbers are limited, with an entry fee of about €10, and you must book online in advance. The beach is white pebble and the water is crystal clear. Bring plenty of water and wear hiking boots. The drive from Cala Gonone to the trailhead takes about 1 hour. You can also take a boat to view the bay from outside.
Opening hours
Peak season approx. 08:00–19:00, with capacity limits
